THE HOME CLUBS RETURN.
The Base Ball Season to Open at Sa-
vannah To-day.


The Savannah base ball team returned
home last night and will open the season
here with Charleston to-day The club
left New Orleans after Thursdays game
and was joined at Mobile by Manager Pow
ell and the Charleston team, and the tw o
came on together. They are quartered at
the Marshall House.
Savannah has been unfortunate In its first
trip and lost nearly every game it played.
Notwithstanding this, Manager Morton
says that the team played better ball than it
has been given credit for playing OF the
sixteen games that were played, he says the
club ought to have won at least seven, but
circumstances and umpires We're against
them and they only got two. The only men
that have been released since the club
started out are Adams and Jones.
Macarthur is still retained. The team, how
ever, is badly crippled Parker is in
the New Orleans City Hospital sick
injuries received early in the week, but is
recovering and will play to-day Manager
Morton himself, who played in one of the
Mobile games, injured his hand and is I'M
able to handle a ball, and Macarthur is just
recovering from severe sprain.
In spite of its crippled condition the club
will play Charleston to-day to win
Tricky" Nichols, who has been practicing
daily since he arrived here will pitch, and
Dallas viii receive his delivery. Smith
and Hines will be the visotor's battery
To-day will be Ladies' day at the park
Ladies will be admitted free to the grounds
and the grand stand. Both Savannah and
Charleston will put up their best
batteries and will play to win
1t will be the first time the
teams have como together since the league
season opened, end an opportunity will be
afforded to see what Improvement has been
made since the preliminary games which
were played here early in April. The game
will be called at O'clock
Manager Morton says that New Orleans
is one of the greatest base ball towns that
he has ever visited. More people. he saws.
attended one game there than were at all OF
the twelve games together in Memphis,
Nashville and Mobile. Sunday games are
downed everywhere except in New Orleans
The Mobile City Council has prohibited them
there, and Nashville shut down after the first
game. This will lessen the attendance at
both places, and will, of course, diminish the
receipts The league covers too much terri
tory, Manager Morton says, to ever sue
coed The expenses are too great and the
cities outside of New Orleans do not patron
ize the sport enough to make it pay.

FERST & CO.'S LOSS.
Fully Covered by Insurance in Seven
Companies-Origin of the Fire

Fully Covered by Insurance in Seven
Companies-Origin of the Fire.
The damage from the fire at NJ Ferst e.
Co. Bay and Whitaker streets, yesterday
morning was greater than was at first sup
posed. The fire originated in the middle of
the top floor. A pile of matches in pack
ages was stored there, and it is supposed
that the pile either fell over and the matches
were ignited by percussion or that they
were set on fire by rats.
The building is strongly and tightly shut
tered and there was no way for the fire to
be set from the outside 1t was well under
way when discovered, and had it not been
for the promptness of the fire department
and the good Judgment of Chief Fernandez
in managing the ire, it would have resulted
very disastrously not only to Ferst & Co,
but to tie MORNING NEWS and other ad-
joining property.
Mr.. Ferst was unable yesterday to eSti-
mate the firms loss, but it will probably be
somewhere about $1,000 1t is covered by
insurance amounting to 900 in seven
companies. The adjusters began work yes
terday afternoon. The firms business will
not be interfered with by the fire, and will
be carried on as usual.

CRASHED INTO A BRIDGE.
The Steamer St. Nicholas Collides with
Pier in St. Augustine Creek.

The Steamer st. Nicholas Collides with
Pier in st. Augustine Creek.
The steamer st. Nicholas, from Fernan-
dina for Savannah, collided with the central
pier of the Savannah and Tybee railroad
draw bridge over st. Augustine creek on
Thursday night and stove in her starboard
wheel and upper deck. The steamer lay
where she struck until yesterday morning,
when she was towed up to the city.
The pier with which the steamer collided
is in the middle of the channel The draw was
open leaving eighty feet clear on either side
of the pier for the vessel to pass through. The
collision occurred about 8 o'clock The St
Nicholas, after rounding the point south of
the bridge, headed TO pass through the draw
on the west side The current was run
ming very strong and her officers say it
forced her upon the bridge. The vessel
struck the heavy piling of the pier on her
starboard side with tremendous crash,
tearing away part of her upper deck and
forward stateroons and completely de-
molishing her starboard wheel. The
passengers were taken off and
landed on the shore abutments but after
wards returned on board and the steamer
hung on the pier all night. She was hauled
off and brought up to the city yesterday by
pany'S agent estimates her damage at 81 900
The steamboat people say that had the pier
been properly protected by piles the dam
age to the vessel would have been less.
Maj. lnness, contractor for the railroad,
stated to a MORNING NEWS reporter that
there is eighty feet space on either side of
the pier, which is ample room for the
steamer to pass through. The lights were
burning all right on both the draw pier and
the shore abutinents, and he was unable to
see that the railroad people are responsible
in any way for the accident. A part
of the framework on top of the
piling was carried away in the collision and
the piling was bent in several places, SO that
until the engineer can make thorough ex-
animation and determine the extent of the
damage, and whether or not the bridge is
safe, work on the east side of the creek will
be suspended Chief Engineer Postell is
out OF the city but will be back to-day and
will make thorough investigation. Mai.
| Inness had a force of 175 laborers
ready to go to work on the Tybee end of the
road, and until the bridge can be used the
most of this force will have to be laid off,
seriously delaying the completion of the
| road.
The damaged steamer is lying at hei
wharf at the foot of Lincoln street The
David Clark took her place on the line anc
left last night for Fernandina.

CHARLESTON, May 1.-THE cotton bust

felt here in the Charleston team which, after

the South, but which, on the contrary. has
met with disgraceful defeats alls around.
Efforts are making here to raise money TO

resources lett the general public is called 10

Such advance has been made in the man
ufacture of Upright Pianos Of late years,
that one cannot think he has one of the best
unless it has been very recently made. Per-
haps the most important improvement of all
is that introduced by Mason & Hamlin few
years since. BY it the strings are held rig
idly at each end, thus securing more exact
and perfect vibration, and materially aid
ing in the attainment of most pure. refined,
musical tones, which are certainly the great
desideratum in pianos. The piano is thus
not only improved in Inequalities when new,
but acquires much greater durability, the
liability OF the strings TO slip OF change in
their tension, as is the inevitable danger,
when the strings are merely held by pins set
in wood in the old way, being almost wholly
Avoided
